Vortexians, OK, this is getting a little "crazy-go-nuts."
1. Margaret Sanger was responsible for some good, yes. She was also crazy. Not the kind of person I would want to spend much time with. Very pro-eugenics. If you support that, then congratulations, go build yourself a private Gattaca. Leave me the hell out of it. 2. I am not pro-abortion for a few reasons. A: It does nothing to encourage people to stop the numerous "meet and f**k" flings. B: I wouldn't know if I was destroying someone who might be something very important one day. C: I do not have to be pro-abortion just because you say so. So many people have tried to force me to be pro-abortion that I am now totally against it mainly in defiance of those who would control my thinking. 3. A religious person really really must have made you mad once, Jed? It is fine by me if you are anti-religion, do what you want to. But if you want to try and say you and the anti-religionists are better than anyone who has a religion, or worse force your views on them via legislature, well, kindly knock the hell off. You know, if we are supposed to be so pro-women-liberation in other countries, so pro-freedom, so pro-lets-all-get-along-as-equals, so pro-<insert theme of day here> then why the HELL is it ok and dandy to hate religion? If you think I am overreacting, then re-read your posts. They were pretty damned irritating to me at least, and I am sure others. Not for your opinion, that is fine. Do what you want. But do not ever try to force it on anyone else. By legislation or otherwise. This statement (the last part anyways) is not directly aimed at anyone. 4. Contraception? Sure, why not. I have no problem with this. But please, if anyone out there wants to force the use of them on people who do NOT want to use them, kindly take a hike. This statement is not directly aimed at anyone. 5. Are you guys actually reading this? I don't get many replies........ 6. You know, the Pope just died. He meant alot to many people. (I am not catholic, by the way, but I damn sure respect them and am not going to say they are 400 years behind!) If this form of lack of respect for the dearly departed is implicit in your atheistic-utopia vision, then count me completely out. 7. If this continued anti-religious bias is to be embraced and accepted, then do not EVER ask me to show compassion towards some special interest group of to feel sorry for Muslims who might have been discriminated against in the days to follow September 11th. Why should one group be discriminated against and not another? 8. DISCLAIMER!!! This is aimed at no one in particular! (so don't take it as being aimed at you, Jed). If there is someone who feels that the need for population control is so severe that we need to force people to go against their religious and/or moral views and be forced to employ contraceptives or abortion, then here is an alternative. If there is someone who really wants to force that kind of control on other people, then kindly do the following: get yourself a gun, and shoot yourself now. You will have accomplished what you set out to do: you have reduced the worlds population by 1, and I guarantee you that the cost of some contraceptives or an abortion is much more than the cost of the gunpowder it took you to blow yourself to hell. There are more, but for the moment I am too pissed off to handle them clearly. I am sorry if the tone is extremely abrasive, I am very angry. And before you judge me personally, keep this in mind. You don't know me in real life, you don't know what I have been through, you don't know who I really am. And just so people know, I am not exactly what you would call a religious man. You could call me a Christian, I do believe in God, but I have my own views on things, and lets leave it at that...if you judged me based on seeing "that word" then you are not worth my time. But I am also standing up in defense of the Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, whoever. Jed, you believe science and religion cannot coexist. This isn't a belief, you are stating something as fact. You are wrong in one case, at least. They coexist just fine in the reality of my mind, if they cannot work together for you in your reality, then that is fine. Don't presume that just because you can't make it work, no one else can. Sorry if this offended anyone. But maybe it is time those people who quietly keep getting offended themselves say something.
